WHY ATTEND
ALL THE
SERVICES OF
THE CHURCH?
Answering Problems Facing The Church
ONE SHOULD ATTEND ALL THE SERVICES OF THE CHURCH!
HEB. 10:25
PROBLEM:
Many people today do not attend all the
services of the church.
Bible classes
Worship
Gospel meetings, etc.
THE PROBLEM OF LOW ATTENDANCE?
Dedication is lacking in some people. Mt. 6:33
Many are not taught the truth about this necessity.
Not present when taught.
Failure of church leadership/teachers.
Many do not listen to and apply when it is taught.
Some say, “Bible classes are not required.”
They are an assembling of “ourselves” together.
Failure to attend is sin if choose something else
before God. Ex. Family, Funerals, Entertainment Mt. 10:37; Mt 8:22; Lk. 9:23
MORE THAN ONE KIND OF ASSEMBLY
More than one kind of assembly is possible.
i.e. “forsake not the assembling of yourselves together”
Early church had them daily Acts 2:46
Various Assembly (meeting) Types:
Whole church gathered. 1 Cor. 11:20; 14:23
Other than the Lord’s day. Acts 2:46; 19:9
General (to work together). Ephesians 4:15-16
Congregation meeting. Acts 14:27
ATTEND TO OBEY GOD
It is a command of God.
Let us continue to hold firmly to the hope that we confess without wavering, for the one who
made the promise is faithful. And let us continue to consider how to motivate one
another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of
some, but encouraging one another even more as you see the day of the Lord coming
nearer.
Hebrews 10:23-26 ISV
ATTEND TO ABOUND IN THE LORD’S WORK
“Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast,
unmovable, always excelling (ABOUNDING)
in the work of the Lord, because you know
that the work that you do for the Lord isn't
wasted.”
1 Corinthians 15:58 ISV
ATTEND BECAUSE IT IS SAFE
My brothers and sisters, God called you and
chose you to be his. Do your best to live in a
way that shows you really are God's called
and chosen people. If you do all this, you will
never fall. 2 Peter 1:10 ERV
ATTEND TO PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST
God’s business must come first!
But let your first care be for his kingdom and
his righteousness; and all these other things
will be given to you in addition. BBE
What you should want most is God's kingdom
and doing what he wants you to do. Then he
will give you all these other things you need.
Matthew 6:33 ERV
ATTEND TO BE MADE STRONGER
Remain alert. Keep standing firm in your faith.
Keep on being courageous and strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13 ISV
ATTEND TO SET A GOOD EXAMPLE
In the same way, you should be a light for
other people. Live so that they will see the
good things you do and praise your Father in
heaven. Matthew 5:16 ERV
ATTEND TO PROVE YOUR LOVE
We have courage, and are well pleased rather
to be away from the home of the body, and to
be at home with the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:8 YLT
Jesus said, “If ye love Me, keep My commandments” John 14:15 KJV
ATTEND BECAUSE GOD WANTS THE CHURCH TO GROW
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into
him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: Ephesians 4:15
And so, dear friends, since you already know
these things, continually be on your guard not to
be carried away by the deception of lawless
people. Otherwise, you may fall from your
secure position. Instead, continue to grow in the
grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior
Jesus, the Messiah. Glory belongs to him both
now and on that eternal day! Amen.
2 Peter 3:17-18 ISV
LET BROTHERLY LOVE CONTINUE
